Hi everyone, how is your weekend going.
It is Sunday evening here in Sydney and I just look at the pictures I took the last couple of days. It was a warm and sunny weekend and ...
#1 we went to the farmers market to get the first fresh basil of the season to make fresh pesto this summer.
#2 I see those beautiful purple trees everywhere. They smell so good too.
#3-5 We grabbed our towels and magazines and enjoyed the Saturday afternoon sitting in the shade, reading close to the water
#6-8 We went on the rooftop of a friends house and were surprised by the amazing view and the many bats we saw
I am about to get christmas presents ready to send them over to Germany. I think I have never written christmas cards and wrapped gifts earlier.
I would love to send you all some sun....
Maria

Whaou! I especially love the blossom of jacarandas(the purple trees). It reminds me my tropical childhood in Réunion island. And you're lucky to enjoy the great pool at Double Bay! If you can, go to Shark Bay beach, it's amazing! Despite the name, it's safe!
ooh, das wird ja immer sommerlicher bei euch :)
mir geht's besser, ja, danke. sitze zwar am schreibtisch, aber gestern war pause und ich bin voll neuer energie.
auf die aufmunterung freue ich mich enoorrrrm, und halte auch schon nach der revanche ausschau :)
ganz liebe grüsse!!!
Oooo jakarandas, I adore them. They used to remind me of Japanese cherry blossoms when I was living in melbourne.
Oh I miss Australia, I miss lively warm weather! Hope you enjoy every bit of it!!! ;)
makes me want to go back so bad. i loved the paddington market, is that still going strong?
Kaum zu glauben, dass am anderen Ende der Welt jetzt Sommer ist :)!
ungewöhnlich hier bei kerzenlicht und kälte zu sitzen und diese fotos zu bestaunen :)
lucky you!
Great shots once again ... love growers markets and that second shot is great .... and what view from your friends roof top !!!
travel! as far as i know, there are still tickets available in adelaide through bass.net.au :)
beautiful pictures and beautiful sunny weather! here in stockholm we have lots of snow already.. can't believe it's almost christmas. i sure hope you manage to find some sufjan stevens tickets, i saw him play at this small venue in london once and it was magical!
ohh sehr schöner blog, wie gemein das bei euch jetzt sommer ist :(
you get me more and more excited to come home to sydney with these pictures. the beautiful purple trees are called jacaranda trees and all those bats are flying from the botanical gardens to centennial park. they do it each evening. two things i love about sydney!
Deine fotos sind ganz toll! Haha und mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht! Where was the farmers market? I can`t seem to find basil in big bunches here. Only in those little pots. I have to buy about 4 of them just to make enough pesto for all of us!

oh, i miss jacaranda trees.
Very pretty, that blossoming purple tree especially. Your out-door market looks so warm and fun--it is literally snowing where I live as I type this, so it is nice to see pictures of your warmer home! ;)

Oh those summer days and nights, enjoy them dear Maria! What pretty places you have once more passed on your way.
